SPX FLOW Achieves Recognition for Sustainability with Innovative Seamless Infusion Vessel
SPX FLOW, based out of Charlotte, N.C., has once again stood out in the realm of business sustainability, earning the 2025 SEAL Business Sustainability Award for its innovative product, the Seamless Infusion Vessel. A notable segment of SPX FLOW, APV has developed this groundbreaking technology aimed at enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of ultra-high-temperature (UHT) processing utilized by dairy and beverage producers.
Pranav Shah, the Global Market Director for Dairy & Plant-Based Beverages at SPX FLOW, emphasized the transformative impact of the Seamless Infusion Vessel, describing it as a game-changer. With its unique design, this vessel minimizes fouling during production processes, significantly extending operational run times. In practical terms, producers can gain an impressive additional 100 hours of productivity each year, which further reduces overall resource consumption—a critical aspect in today’s environmentally-conscious market. The innovation replaces traditional clamp connections with a seamless, gasket-free design that directly links the vessel bottom to the pump housing. This assurance not only enhances cooling efficiency for the pump casing and impeller but also lowers the need for cleaning in place (CIP) cycles, thereby minimizing product loss and increasing production efficacy.
The benefits extend beyond mere operational efficiency. As Matt Harney, Founder and Chairperson of the SEAL Awards, pointed out, the advancements made by SPX FLOW reflect a deep commitment to sustainability. The improvements brought about by the Seamless Infusion Vessel enable notable reductions in product waste, energy usage, water consumption, and the need for detergents thanks to fewer production cycles. This holistic approach to sustainability captures the intricate and significant strides toward better business practices and environmental responsibility.
SPX FLOW’s efforts in sustainability were also highlighted in its recent publication, "Solutions That Matter 2024 Impact Report." This report showcases the company’s dedication to providing solutions that not only meet operational needs but also contribute positively to environmental impacts. This ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability positions SPX FLOW as a leader in its industry, demonstrating that responsible practices and cutting-edge technology can go hand in hand.
The Seamless Infusion Vessel is just one example of how SPX FLOW continuously seeks to improve industrial processes across numerous sectors, including health, nutrition, and other major industrial markets. The company operates in more than 25 countries while engaging with clients in over 140 countries globally. Organizations interested in sustainable practices, particularly in dairy and beverage processing, may want to learn more about this innovative solution and view a demonstration of its capabilities.
